Unsticking Deals: Why Deals Stall, How to Unstick Them, And How to Prevent Them From Sticking in the First Place by James Muir
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Stuck deals are arguably the biggest problem in sales. Depending on the industry, between 40-60% of all sales are lost to no-decision.
The implications are staggering. This fact means that the problem of stuck deals and "no-decision" effectively doubles the cost of every sale, and wastes somewhere around one-half of every sales professional's time.

What you will learn in Unsticking Deals:
Surprisingly, stalled deals are caused by just three things. The Universal Root Cause Maxim explains the three reasons deals stall in a single sentence. The five common sales issues that cause sales professionals to stick their deals. The three things that cause customers to suffer from indecision and how to overcome them. Why deals stall due to business case issues and the three simple things that need to be in every business case to prevent stalls. Five key prevention strategies that will prevent your deal from ever sticking in the first place. The five key plays for unsticking your deals - complete with templates and examples.This book is designed to be a quick reference guide. Each chapter has been designed to be brief and concise with actionable steps you can take right now to unstick your deal.
Once youâve identified why your deal is stuck you can jump right to that chapter for solutions. These short chapters are arranged into six logical parts:
Part 1 â Preventing Deals From Sticking Part 2 â Unsticking Plays Part 3 â What Causes Stuck Deals Part 4 â Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Sales Issues Part 5 â Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Client Indecision Part 6 â Strategies for Unsticking Deals Caused by Business Case IssuesThis book is for all those entrepreneurs, business leaders, and sales professionals who want to close those bloated pipelines and prevent deals from getting stuck in the first place.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Award-winning Fortune 500 brand consultant and behavioral expert Leslie Zane shatters conventional marketing wisdom, showing readers how to tap into the hidden brain where instinct prevails, creating a powerful network of connections that drive people to buy your product, company, or vision.
People don't make decisions with their conscious mind, but on instinct.In The Power of Instinct, marketing consultant and behavioral science expert Leslie Zane shows that to grow a brand, business, or even a social movement, traditional persuasion tactics fall short.
Instead, you must connect to the instinctive mind. And to do this, you need to understand the science of consumer choice and employ techniques that work with a person's brain, not against it.
Zane uncovers the hidden network of connections that dictates the snap decisions we make and cracks the code on how to influence it.With a revolutionary set of rules for expanding the network, Zane shows us how to make any brand, business, political candidate, or idea the dominant instinctive choice.
With science as your guide, as well as stories from the world's most successful brands from McDonald's and Lululemon to the Yankees and Taylor Swift, you'll learn:
What kind of messages create the greatest amount of positive associations; Why finding new customers accelerates growth and relying on existing ones is a trap; Why emotional stories are not enough to drive trial and long-term brand loyalty.Whether you're an entrepreneur, Fortune 500 executive, marketing professional, or job seeker, mastering the power of instinct will help supercharge your growth and make whatever you're selling the first choice for any audience.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Leslie Zane has been turning the marketing industry on its head for the past 30 years.

The Road To Hell: How Purposeful Business Leads To Bad Marketing And A Worse World And How Human Creativity Is The Way Out by Nick Asbury
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, says the proverb. Never has that been truer than in the case of corporate purpose, the movement that took over the business and advertising world following the financial crisis of 2008.
Guided by the mantra 'do well by doing good', businesses embraced a social purpose agenda that sought to align doing good for society with doing well in the marketplace.
According to author Nick Asbury, the result has been a wave of humorless and hubristic advertising and a spiral of worse social outcomes, as businesses wade into issues beyond their remit while neglecting their real ethical responsibilities.
Diving into examples including Bud Light, Patagonia, Cadbury, and Unilever, Nick Asbury builds a compelling case against purpose - covering what it is, where it came from, how it leads to worse marketing, and how it leads to worse social outcomes.
As a positive alternative, he makes the case for creativity, cognitive empathy, and valuing the human over the corporate.
Amid the fierce and topical debate about purpose and corporate politics, The Road to Hell is a sharp and entertaining intervention, shedding light on how we got here - and where we go next.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Nick Asbury is a creative writer, corporate purpose critic, poet, songsmith, humorist, and one-half of Asbury & Asbury UK.
His other works include Perpetual Disappointments Diary (a demotivational journal of despair), A Smile in the Mind, Realtime Notes (3.5 years of fast poems described by critic John Self as 'the best chronicle of the 21st century), and appearances in books including The Copy Book: How Some Of The Best Advertising Writers In The World Write Their Advertising.

Inside the Black Box: How Marketers Waste Billions in Online Advertising by Bob Hoffman
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In 2024, marketers will spend over $650 billion on online advertising. A substantial proportion of this - perhaps in the hundreds of billions - will be completely wasted.
Not for the usual reason - their advertising stinks - but for another, darker reason. They have been cheated, conned, and robbed.
It has been clear for about a decade that a great deal of online advertising is crooked. It is a black box. Money goes in and nobody knows what comes out.
Between ad fraud, made for advertising sites, hidden middleman fees, crooked publishers, unreliable data, unreliable reports, viewability issues, click fraud, false attribution, consumer inattention, and the utter lack of transparency, advertisers are being fucked blind.
The book should be of particular value to executives (like CEOs and CFOs) who cross their fingers and hope their marketing people know what they're talking about (Spoiler alert: They don't.)
It's also for marketing people who believe their suppliers give them accurate information (Spoiler alert: They donât.)
It's also for media buyers who think they know what they're buying (Spoiler alert: They don't.)
It is written in simple English, so you don't have to be a tech-head to get it.
And, best of all â the book is free!
